Dark and dangerous.

Good lord!  I used to play this on college radio in 1980.  Whew!  Some of the rhymes are juvenile, but what a great driving baseline.  Speaking of baselines - how about playing Shriekback "My Spine is the Baseline."

Haven't heard this gem in years.  I wasn't aware Bill had it in the mix.  I should have knon better!

Well that was odd. I was about to tell Bill that this song was mis-titled but then I realized Pink Flag was playing out of my own library. Nevermind.

Totally - I came over to give it an 8, and noticed I had it rated already....as a 3!

You should have known better than to play such trite drivel.....

Oh good lord... pretentious and silly.

Reminds me of Fischer Z - same era - same cool sound.

Wow my own opinion of this goes up and down... most songs I rate and leave it there forever. I came here to give this an 8 and see I gave it a 7 already... and in the comments I said I bumped it from a 6. I think next time it'll probably start back down (just a prediction for the time capsule there).

WOW. Apparently RP listeners don't "get" Wire.  They were a great band and this is a great song!

Wire stretched the boundaries of punk, especially on their first three albums. Incredible, ironic lyrics. This landmark album is an excellent example. 

Oh well.  Guess you had to be there.   These guys were the real deal.  Read this to get some entertaining background on this highly influential band:

Had to give it a 10 just to bump it up a bit!

I can't agree with the majority here. This is a great song. However, it's pure New Wave, so if you're not into that...

while it was cool to hear this song again after almost 30 years.... i think i can go another 30 years of not hearing it.

Forgive him, he doesn't know better.

A Roxy Music knockoff.

The only reason I can see this song getting a 1 is that the scale doesn't go lower.

  oh yeah, baby!

If these guys are serious the song is 1. If they're kidding then they're geniuses and this is a 10.

I am not fan of this

Brilliant, seminal band that influenced so many, yet never go their due.

wow, this sucks
